Chapter 15
When James told me that our guy would come in two days’ time, my heart almost failed me. Every plan in my head flew away and I became a fool right on the spot.
‘Are you going to handle your end of the bargain?’ James asked when I went mute and lost.
I sighed. ‘I swear, I don’t even know anything anymore.’
‘What?’
‘It’s Dave, he scares me!’
‘So, you are human after all?’ He mocked. ‘You were the one dishing out instructions and giving ultimatums like you are some kind of hulk, who would handle…’
‘Shut the fuck up James!’ I screamed and held my head. ‘Let me think, okay?’
‘Well, you have like a week to do this.’ He scoffed and left.
Days later, I told James that I would be ready in three days’ time.
‘Are you sure?’ He asked.
‘Why did you ask that?’
‘Because, three days’ time will be Thursday, and Bryan would be around.’
I shrugged. ‘So? I just have to take my chances.’
‘And if that fails, he tortures you, and you confesses, right?’
‘Listen, like I said, I will take that chance first.’
James looked at me for a while and scoffed. ‘You know what? Just tell me you need my help and I will do just that. Stop acting like you got it all covered.’
‘Oh, so, you’re just going to shoot him dead for me, so that I can run away with you, right?’
‘Absconding with me is not my problem, by the time you got trails of law enforcement behind you, you will know who to call. Here, take this.’ He handed me a gun.
‘A gun?’
‘You have any other idea?’
I shook my head and collected it. ‘Thank you.’ I whispered.
‘Keep it safe.’ He said and left.
My mind was racing all through the day. I had access to nothing that I could use except the gun that James gave me. I wish I could use something else.
Dave came on Thursday, as usual. Without wasting much time, he dropped the groceries and rough-handled me for the first round of hate-sex. He pulled my hair and slammed my head on the kitchen table as he rode me from behind.
‘Did you miss me, biatch!’ He asked loudly as he finished.
I was silent. I pulled my trousers into the right position and buckled my belt. As usual, as he sat down, he started to heat up the heroine.
‘Have you eaten anything?’ He asked as he tied his arms, readying the needle.
‘Yes.’
‘Good. You got to sit here and have your shots. I took some fucking new aphrodisiac and I wanna test it out. I don’t want you feel anything. That what you’re good for. You should be a porn-star.’
I didn’t reply to his derogatory statements. My mind was made up and my thought was how to shoot him dead! He finishing shooting himself some heroine and relaxed in his chair with a big sighed.
‘Feels good.’ He croaked.
I watched him close his eyes and breathed steadily. I said there, in the second chair in front of him, with a low stool, separating us. After a while, I was assured he was asleep, so, I decided to get up slowly and go for the gun in the kitchen cabinet. I grabbed each of the armrests with each hands and held it tightly as I tried to lift myself from the seat- hoping not to make a sound. But I was wrong. As soon as my butt was off the chair, it creaked and…
‘Sit.’ Dave commanded without his eyes opened.
I froze, but didn’t sit back. I hoped he was just hallucinating. I lifted myself again and this time, he opened his eyes and looked straight at me. I froze.
‘What are you trying to do?’ He asked.
I was silent. I sank back into my chair.
‘You want to kill me?’
‘Kill you?’
‘Shut the fucck up!’ He shouted and kicked the stool at the middle.
The contents on it came flying at me and I dodged, but the stool hit me very hard on the knee. I screamed. He stood up and kicked it again and it hit me right at the knee. I fell and held my knees and screamed aloud. The pain was excruciating. I shut my eyes in pain. Dave hit me in the stomach and I coughed out blood. I was on my knees- one hand held my stomach while the other was on the floor. Dave came running at me and kicked me in the face. I almost choked on my own blood.
My mind was on how to get to the kitchen and grab the gun that James gave me. I needed just half that chance. I tried to crawl, but it wasn’t easy for me. My knees, my stomach, my face, the pain, it aches! Dave kept talking about how he was going to kill me. I heard him unbuckle his belt and pulled it out. He was going to rape me! I tuned and saw him pull down his trouser, ready to pounce on me. I summoned some courage and leaped to the side of the chair where he dropped his gun why shooting his heroine. I could hear his approach. I stretched and my finger wriggled at the grip of his pistol. I couldn’t reach it and Dave was getting closer. I was weak, I didn’t think I would make it.
“Ready to die, bitch?’ He announced his arrival and I delved forward- one last leap at the gun.
He was on time, he grabbed me by the feet and pulled me back. I lay there, facedown. As he turned me to face him, I aimed the gun at his face and pulled the trigger!
End of 15.
Chapter 16 will drop before Christmas.
Thank you
